From Ghana via Melbourne

Tales of men sending naked photos through the mail came with a nondescript yellow envelope. Inside, wrapped in a printed letter, a shiny acid-free sheet wrapped a few times around a black card. The black card being the choice of many a philatelists wanting to showcase the wares. In this case, a set of disparate stamps from the area known in Africa as Ghana. The letter mentions no date, yet the events described are posted against a fading star of an auction site. Sold.com.au, now subsumed into the global giant that is eBay. A year perhaps, even more if given correctly. Sitting somewhere on a benchtop and paid for, waiting for a skinned magazine printed in 1981 to come. A magazine that just happens to have disappeared. Or perhaps, was never really sent.
